AudioEdit: Getting Five Starbucks

By consumerist.comSeptember 15, 2006

Inspired by our last post, we called Starbucks customer service (800-235-2883) and spoke with Meredith. After we complained about Starbucks pulling their iced coffee promotion, she agreed to mail us a $5 gift card. Yippy skippy.

According to Meredith, the free coupons had to be nulled because they were “tampered with.”

We also like how she refers twice refers to the coupon as a “surprise and delight.”

P.S. This is our first post using the Motionbox player. Like it? If you’re having problems viewing, you may need to upgrade to Flash 9 for free, here.

The MotionBox software worked well after a painless update to Flash 9. Seems that since you have that big video box there, it might be worthwhile to put a transcript up on the screen as the call progresses, just like they do on the teevee.

Please don’t use Motionbox. I don’t think I’m the only Linux user who frequents this site (my wife is another), and Adobe doesn’t have a Linux Flash plugin higher than version 7. That means that your Linux readers can’t even USE anything based on Flash 8-9 (all I see is a big white box above).
